I love how every time they start to think they have it figured out something comes along and upsets all the theories. The out of Africa all humans share the same DNA was politically popular and dogma for several decades.

That there could of been a separate Arabian launching place for the modern humans traveling into Asia and Europe is another. We are different and unique even if the same species.
